1. Problem Description

  The KDE CD player kscd is setgid disk to be able to access the device
  file of the CDROM.
  To perform some action kscd calls the unix command shell specified in
  the environment variable SHELL with the privileges of group disk.

2. Impact

  An adversary could set SHELL to his own program to get local root
  access to the system by writing directly to the raw HDD device.

3. Solution

  Update the package from our FTP server.
